The Arrested Development Appreciation Thread

[Acreboy]

Man I love this show. In the process of getting all the seasons on DVD.

Who was your favorite character? Mine was Tobias Fünke followed by Michael Bluth.

Sucked when it got canceled. So here's to you Arrested Development and that genius mind of Ron Howard.

Come On!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flyboy]

Easily my favorite comedy-esque show ever. It's so highly underrated and easily thumps Seinfeld.

[MicktheGreat]

Such a great show. I still can't believe it got cancelled...

All of the characters have their little quirks so it's tough to say who's my favorite character. GOB & Tobias are probably the funniest the first time you watch the episodes...

However, if you re-watch some of the episodes, the stuff that George Michael does (oftentimes, in the background of a scene) is absolutely hilarious...

Also, A.D. had some great guest-star roles -- including Carl Weathers (as an acting coach) and Ben Stiller (as Tony Wonder).

Probably my favorite line from the show...
MICHAEL: "Are you sure that this open marriage is good for Maeby?"
TOBIAS: "Oh...yes, Michael. You're the expert on family. Oh wait! That's right! You're wife is dead!"
[Awkward Pause]
TOBIAS: "I'm sorry...that was completely inappropriate."

Yeah, that line was sooo wrong yet so hilarious.

[WhatWouldBillyBajemaDo?]

I hate Fox, one of my favorite shows. I finally watched the final episode a few months ago and I am happy the way they tied everything together at the end. At least it brought some type of closure to the show.

Given a few more seasons, maybe. Not as of right now.

I really rank them

1.) Seinfeld
2.) Arrested Development

[Flyboy]

Eh, it depends on your sense of humor. Personally, I never got the appeal of Seinfeld, but that's just me.

My favorite moment from Arrested Development altough this includes footage from Happy Days.And how awkward was it that Scott Baio took over for Henry? Albeit it was only 4 episodes..

Eh, it depends on your sense of humor. Personally, I never got the appeal of Seinfeld, but that's just me.Understandable. I had a lot of time to "understand" Seinfeld. I started watching when I was 12

[BuckNaked]

I watched this show religiously. I started watching Andy Barker PI just because Buster was in it.

[Vilma the Animal]

This was such an amazing show. Quite unfortunate that it got cancelled after only three seasons. One of my favorite quotes...

Tobias: As you may or may not know, Lindsay and I have hit a bit of a rough patch. Well, I don’t want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn’t help.

[Draft King]

Wow, best show ever. (other than Seinfeld of course) My fav character was GOB easy, that man is a legend. The best is when he made his yacht "disappear" to The Final Countdown. Best magician ever.

Tobias Fünke: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.

[SuperMcgee]

Love it. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen. I still miss it. The reruns go so quick on CBC.

I agree wholeheartdly. Never since has such comedy been made with such eccentric characters. They have it on g4 too.

Awesomeness

I love the hair plugs in the video, that was a hillarious stage for Tobias.

[SugarSean]

Funniest show of all-time. It's layered, so you notice different jokes every single time u watch it. I own all three seasons and I've probably seen every episode about 15 times and it NEVER gets old. It's that well written. No show has as many good one-liners as AD. For example, we do not wag our genitals at one another to make a point. hilarious.

[Flyboy]

Good post, SugarSean.

Best of Franklin from season 2.

"I just don't want him to point out my cracker ass in front of Anne..."
"Who let this little black...?!"

Oh God. Just GOLD.

[SugarSean]

Michael: I can't stand to hear one more lie come out of this family's mouth.

Tobias: Ahh...there's the woman I'm sexually attracted to.

Michael: Okay, but that's the last one.




(Smiling confidently) If I look like a man who made love to his wife last night....that's because I almost did.

[Acreboy]

"Has anyone in this family actually seen a chicken?"
